Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Escalina looked up again and turned her gaze straight to Linos.

She was a very beautiful woman, but a different type of woman from Soleil. However, they both had one thing in common: their eyes were very distinctive.

Soleil's eyes have an indescribable charm. She has an air of kindness and good-naturedness about her. In other words, she is a woman who is easy to talk to, and her eyes seem to respond politely to anyone who talks to her.

On the other hand, Escalina's eyes showed a deep intelligence. Her eyes were similar to May's, but hers were also indescribably cold. Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere that she wore was somewhat inaccessible and unapproachable.

However, when Escalina's eyes met Linos', she immediately looked away, and her body trembled slightly. At first glance, it appeared that she was not comfortable talking to men.

Linos saw this and muttered in his mind that this woman must be very popular with men.

"Escalina is a water spirit, and she has a contract with an aide, a higher species.

Soleil introduces them with a beaming smile.

"I see. ....... What can this higher water spirit do?"

"Yes. I can manipulate water. Especially, I am skilled in purifying water and understanding its composition.

"Wow, that's great. So, with this Escalina, we can figure out the composition of that poison ......?"

Yes. But first, I think we can determine if the water contains poison."

"What does that mean?"

"Yes. I'll ask Sidie to identify the places where the poison is spread, and we can put Escalina there. ......"

"So you can prevent further damage, is that it?"

"You are right, sir."

Linos felt a little relieved. If another poison attack occurred, the body would have to be examined again. Probably, there was a high probability that a chemical formula would emerge, but he would have to endure that intense headache. If we can prevent such a catastrophe from happening before it happens, and if we can identify the culprit, people will not have to suffer from that headache and will not be harmed. Two birds with one stone, he thought to himself.

"So, Ms. Escalina. So, Ms. Escalina, I assume that Soleil has told you what is going on. I would like to ask for your cooperation. ......"

"Yes, I have ......."

Thank you very much.

Linos stood up and walked toward Escalina. When he reached her, he held out his right hand. Escalina gently took his hand in hers, a little confused.

"So, Soleil. Can I leave the rest to you?

"Yes. Yes, sir.

"No, I've got a good ally. I'm counting on you. And you said she can purify water, right?　If this case is solved, you can ask for advice from the Principality of Niza, Sidi's family home. They are struggling to purify the water there. Of course, you can refuse if you don't want to, and if you cooperate, I will be sure to thank you."

Linos opens his mouth while looking alternately at Soleil and Escalina. At that moment, Escalina muttered in a small voice.

"......I can't do it."

"...... impossible, huh? I know, no, I'm sorry for saying such a strange thing. Forget it."

"No. The water of Niza is the only thing that is difficult. It takes time.

"It takes time?"

Yes. The water there is contaminated with metallic substances. They are submerged in the bottom of the river, so if you want to clean the water there, you have to kidnap not only the water but also the whole bottom of the river.

"I see. What does that mean?"

We need to get rid of the pollutants before they start flowing into the river. I can manage that with the power of my spirit, but if I want to clean the whole river, I have to wash the bottom of the river with its uncontaminated water. That takes a long time.

"I see. I see what you mean. ......"

"So, it is not possible to clean the water of Niza immediately. Outside of that country, it would be fine. ......"

"Oh. I see. Is that something that can be managed by the power of the spirits?"

"Of course, at first we will borrow the power of the spirits, but the question is whether we can continue to purify the water after that. That is possible with the use of a device.

"Device?　Is there such a thing?"

Linos could not believe his ears. He wondered if someone with such a slender body could create a device that could continuously purify water. In his mind, he had an image of a large water purification plant that he had visited as a child on a social studies field trip. The beautiful woman in front of him did not look like she was capable of building such a large-scale facility. For a moment, I wondered if she had contacts with carpenters who could build such a facility, but according to Soleil's story, she had been living on her own so far, so it was highly unlikely.

Perhaps sensing Linos' feelings, Escalina slowly opened her mouth.

"The device is a simple one. It's a box-shaped facility called Shivat. I can't build it all myself, but if you do exactly as I say, you can pass the dirty water through it and it will be purified to a great extent. If you let it flow, the river will not be polluted."

"Heh, ...... what kind of facility is it?"

"In the first place, there are two kinds of things that cause water pollution: solids in the sewage and utensils that dissolve in the water. The solids in the sewage that enters the cibat are separated by settling and floating, or by filtering with filtering materials. Yutsu is removed by the power of my spirit. The sewage enters the room called "kero" first, where the solids are removed and my spirit removes the yutu. Then it passes through another kero and repeats the same process before entering a room called balki. Here, a large amount of air is pumped into the room. This can be done manually, but it is quite labor intensive. Therefore, it is best to leave it to Psyllus, who has a contract with the spirit of air. Here, my water spirit grows with the help of the air sent by the air spirit, eating soluble substances. In other words, this is where most of the dirt is removed. The sewage is then sent to the last kero. Here, the water spirits that have eaten the dirt solidify it and produce it. Since they are heavier than water, over time they settle to the bottom of the water. At this stage, the dirty water is clear, but it would be even better if we disinfect the clean water before finally discharging it into the river."

"...... Ah, yes."

Escalina, who had been so quiet and reserved, began to speak eloquently as if she had changed her appearance, and Linos listened to what she said in amazement. However, the content was so far beyond his comprehension that he could not understand even half of it.

After thinking for a while, Linos asked Escalina to tell the same story to May and Sidi again, and then he quickly left the audience hall.

Walking down the long corridor of the guesthouse, Linos wished from the bottom of his heart that he had studied more in his previous life. .......
